/lJEMORANDUM
June 27, 2003
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Diane Ward, City Clerk
SUBJECT: 2:00 a.m. bar closing
DISCUSSION:
As requested by the Council at their June 17 meeting, I have invited liquor establishments to
Council's 4:30 meeting (see attached letter sent). As of this time attached is a letter from Mad
Capper's and an email from Larry McGough of the Freight House. I have spoken with Tom Howard,
St. Croix Music Cafe, indicating he will be at the meeting.
Attached you will find some of the same information relating to the 2:00 a.m. bar closing that I
gave you at the last meeting. I would also suggest that Council add a new subdivision in the liquor
.rdinance whether they approve the 2:00 a.m. closing or stay with the 1 :00 a.m. closing. This
dditional subdivision would be Chapter 43-74, Subd. 3 - "No person other than an employee of an
establishment licensed pursuant to this subdivision shall rema~n on the licensed premises longer than
one half hour after the closing time as established by this ordinance." This subdivision was in
Ordinance No. 709, but when the code Was recodified in1 998 it was not put in the code. Polic.e Chief
Dauffenbach would like to see this subdivision with the change of "15 minutes after the closing time"
in the current City Code.
Cities who wish to opt out of the 2:00 a.m. closing will have to modify/affirm their ordinances to
reflect specific closing times. Most cities that go along with the 2:00 a.m. closing need to modify their
ordinance to state "Sales of intoxicating liquor in the city as to hours and days of sale shall be
governed by the provisions of Minn. Stat. S 340A.504." The City of Stillwater's Liquor Ordinance,
Section 43-74, Subd. 1, Hours and days of sale, already contains that statement and since it does the
2:00 a.m. closing will happen by State law without a change to that section. However, Section 43-74,
Subdivision 2, the Sunday Sales Section, provides a closing time of 1 :00 a.m. Monday and requires a
seating capacity of 25 rather than 30 that is stated in the new statute. If we want 2:00 a.m. on Sunday
we need to change this section. (see attached).
As with all the liquor rules, the City can be more restrictive and the Council could change our
,.,rrl,'nan"e t,., stata a "I/"'Is'n" t,'maot- 1.nn a m if t.he\l cee fit. ~t f"'lolu-i for inct~n Co has nO\ler
VIU v \.V L Lv '-'IV.I:::1 "-' I.VV dff."L lV II. \...1.'-"......'\..11 . Iv,",.'" '-'," 1'"-,,,
adopted the 1 :00 a.m. closing and all their liquor establishments still close at 12:00 a.m.
.
"
.
Another concern relating to this bill is the police costs for the 2:00 a.m. closing. The state will
receive $200 - $600 for each establishment who wishes to remain open until 2:00 a.m., the City .
receives none of this fee, but yet our police department will provide the law enforcement. Attached
a sample resolution from the City of Cold Springs settting fees for their establishments who wish to
remain open. Police Chief Dauffenbach will be available to answer any questions regarding the
impact on the police department
Process for a 2:00 a.m. c10sinq if done for this vear:
Establishment submits the application and fee (payable to the State of Minnesota) to the City
for signature by the City Clerk for optional 2:00 a.m. closing license. Once the State receives the
application they will approve immediately and return the license to me (timeframe -mailing 1-2
weeks) If effective for this year they will not be on the same license period as their regular licenses
so there may not be a consistency on the 2:00 a.mlicense period (example: one establishment's
2:00 a.m. license period could be July 15 to July 15; and another establishment's 2:00 a.m license
period could be August 1 to August 1) depending on when they apply.
Process for a 2:00 a.m. closinqif done for an effective date of Januarv 1. 2004.
Establishment would submit the application and fee (payable to the State of Minn~sota) to the
City for signature by the City Clerk for optional 2:00 a.m. closing license along with the annual
renewal of liquor licenses. The annual renewals are usually sent to the State the third week of
November. This would make the license period for the 2:00 a.m. closing the same as their license
period for their liquor licenses.
.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Discuss the 2:00 a.m. bar closing issue.
If Council wishes to continue the 1 :00 a.m. closing and the addition of a subdivision regarding
persons remaining on the property of a liquor establishment, a 1st reading of an ordinance amending
Section 43-74, Subd. 1 to specifically state closing hours and the addition of Section 43-74, Subd. 3
would be necessary, with the second reading being on July 15, 2003. (Ordinance would not be in
affect until the ordinance is published)
If Council wishes to go with the 2:00 a.m amending Section 43-74. Sudb 2. Sunday Sales
Section, to a closing time of 2:00 a.m. Monday and the requirement a seating capacity of 25 rather
than 30 and add the subdivision regarding persons remaining on the property of a liquor
establishment will require a first reading of an ordinance, with the second reading being on July 15,
2003. (Note: this reading would not impact the 2:00 a.m. closing except for the amending of Section
43-74, Subd. 2 Sunday's (Monday) 1:00a.m. closing, which would not be in affect until the ordinance
is published)

Subject: Re: status of 02:00 am
Diane
Thank you for your e-mail.
I received your letter today, that you mentioned earlier.
Based on the current Stillwater code, and the new state law, we think, technically, we could be open till 02:00 am starting July 1st.
However, there is no intent for us to do so, at this time, assuming the city acts in a timely manner on addressing the issue. I am
on vacation for the next two weeks, so this is a non issue for me till after the 4th of July.
The Freight House will either have a written statement for the councilor a reprensentive at the July 1 st meeting.
My personal recommendation would be to pass the 02:00 am closing, but make it affective at the next renewal of a license, which
in the case of the FH would be December 31, 2003. This will give both the business and the city time to adjust their work
schedules accordingly. To the extent that the city wants to charge an extra fee for this privilege, similar to the Sunday sales fee, i~
up to them.
Ultimately, the free market system will make the determination as the financial success of staying open for an extra hour. In the
summer, the business is there, The other nine months of the year it is not an issue.
.nk you for your attention to this matter. I'll check back after the 4th of July to see what the City of Stillwater has decided to do.
Respectfully
Larry McGough
The Freight House

the extra hour of serving. We are only open until midnight
Sun. thru Wed. right now and 1 am Thurs, Fri. , and Sat.
So it is not a factor to us.
Thank you,

Is anyone considering raising their liquor license fees to cover police expenses for a 2:00 P.M. closing on liquor
establishments. We understand that the State charges a fee which will go for state patrol but that doesn't do cities
any good because State patrol will not patrol within City limits?

Subject: Revised Street Light Utility Fees
DISCUSSION
City Council completed the second reading of an ordinance for street lighting utility. The
purpose of the ordinance is to pay for expenses associated with the City's signs and lighting
budget and generate enough revenue to maintain, rehabilitate and reconstruct the City' s
lighting and signage infrastructure. The specific budget for the lighting utility would be as
follows:
Item
Bud2et
.
Lighting and signal electricity
Personnel and contractor services
General supplies
Capital improvements/outlay
Total
$180,000
$ 90,000
$ 10,000
$ 70.000
$350,000
As shown the actual costs of running the lighting, signals and signage in the City of
Stillwater is about $350,000 including potential capital improvements. Using this as an
objective we set forth the following goals in setting up a signs and lighting utility. .
1. Develop a quarterly fee based utility that would generate between $300-350,000 a year.
2. Provide a rationale for the rate structure that is both fair and reasonable.
3. Provide a utility that is easy to understand and implement with a very low operating
cost.
.
In looking at other cities and opportunities within the City of Stillwater, one approach that
has much merit is to mirror the storm water utility approach to setting rates. Other cities
such as Apple Valley followed this course. Under this approach a philosophy is adopted
where rates are based on land use density and intensity of land use. Just as these criteria
increase storm water runoff they also tend to generate more pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Since our signs and lighting system is devoted to providing safe streets and transportation
system, these criteria's seem justified. Therefore, this philosophy sets rates not just based
on immediate sign and lighting benefits but also on secondary benefits to residents and
businesses that result from an overall transportation system that is safe.
.,
,
June 24, 2003
Under the storm water utility concept properties were grouped into different categories of
land use and then these land uses were given quarterly rates based on multiples of a basic
single-family unit charge. As a starting point we determined the basic charge at $8 per
quarter and then set a multiplier on the basic charge based on the number of units or number
of acres. The multiplier we first applied was identical to that used in the storm water utility.
However on closer examination we found it necessary to modify this multiplier for a
number of categories. The changes are as follows:
.~
1. Multi-family was lowered from a basic charge of! per unit to .75 basic charges per unit.
This was done to reflect that multi-family units typically do not generate quite as much
traffic as single-family units nor do they have as much street frontage.
2. Another important change was to cut the institutional basic charge from $48 per acre to
$24 per acre. Institutional property is generally churches and public spaces. . All of these
properties do not generate tax revenue but they do impact our public utilities. The
reduction was made because although these types of properties do have fairly intensive
land use this use typically is limited to only a certain number of days ofthe week. So the
intensity of land use does not have the proportional impact on our transportation system.
3. The category of active open space was also modified. Under the storm water utility it
received 1 base charge per acre. Under this new utility we suggest it receive .25 base
charges per acre. The reasoning here is similar to the reasoning provided under
institutional.
4. Potentially one additional new category could be provided that might be titled a "Low .
Service District." The appropriateness of including this additional category warrants
some debate on the Councils part. Under the storm water utility we did provide a
methodology where by property owners could receive credit for enhanced storm water
facilities on site. The result as a lower quarterly utility charge. Using the same logic we
might have a low service district for neighborhoods that have little or no lighting or
provide their own lighting. However there is a caution here in that anyone that doesn't
have a streetlight on their comer may feel they are part ofthe Low Service District. A
Low Service District might be charged at 50-75% of the rate provided in the normal
comparable district.
Using the storm water utility rationale for base charges along with the proposed
modifications above, the following table result from the assumption of an $8 base charge.
Catet!orv
Quarterlv Rate
Single-Family
Multi-Family
Institutional

Active Open Space
$8 per unit
$6 perunit
$24 per acre
$96 per acre
$128 per acre
$2 per acre
.
2
~
June 24, 2003
.
Using the rates shown above, the residential properties within the City of Stillwater would
yield approximately $190,000 in annual revenue, and the commercial properties would yield
revenue of approximately $140,000 annually. If the Council elects to go with a low service
district fee reduction program, the system will obviously yield somewhat less revenue and the
programming and operation of the system would become more difficult. However these
issues could be overcome by modifying the base charge and dedicating some finance and
engineering staff time to reprogram the computer system and deal with special requests.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council consider the following:
1. Is the proposed goal of $300-350,000 appropriate?
2. Is the proposed utility rate structure fair and reasonable?
3. Is the proposed utility easy to understand and implement?
4. Should we include the Low Service District?
Once Council makes a determination, Council can take action to approve the above
proposed fee structure or provide input on a different fee structure.
ACTION REOUIRED
.
If Council concurs with staff recommendation, Council should pass a motion adopting a
proposed rate structure for the street lighting and signs utility.

Discussion on Fees
.
City Administrator Hansen reviewed some of the fees that the Council previously
approved and asked that Council review those fees again because the fire fees may
need an ordinance or ordinance revisions to become effective. He also stated that the
annual investigative fee is to cover costs by the Police Department for investigation of
all people associated with liquor licenses.
Fire Chief Kallestad reviewed the proposed fire fees.
Council consensus was that more information was needed regarding the fire fees and
directed the Fire Chief to provide more information on the fees.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Kriesel not to approve any
new fire fees except the last two items regarding the fireworks sale.
Mr. Hansen stated that an ordinance would need to be in place and that it would be too
late for both readings of the ordinance in time for the sale of fireworks this year.
Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Kriesel to withdraw the
motion.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by CouncilmemberMilbrandt to adopt
Resolution 2003-125, Fees for Services 2003 and directed the Fire Chief to provide
additional information regarding fire fees and come back to Council with that information. All in

that within eight years of the construction or reconstruction ofa street, a sealcoating is.
warranted. He stated within five years of the start of the development project about
80% of the homes have been completed and would be an ideal time to sealcoat. He
also stated that rather than use general tax dollars to complete this maintenance,
Council may want to consider that sealcoat be part of the developer's responsibility and
part of the initial construction. He stated that the developer's agreement could require
the developer to pay a fee to be held in escrow and then used for a sealcoat project
once approximately 80% of the homes have been constructed. He stated that the fee to
the developer would be roughly $2.00 per lineal foot of street or approximately $100 per
house and that the exact cost could be determined based on the proposed plat.
Motion by Council member Rheinberger, seconded by Council member Kriesel to adopt
Resolution 2003-126, authorizing development charges for seal coating. All in favor.

STAFF REPORTS
Public Works Director Eckles stated that the Industrial Park area has an existing street
lighting system, which is over 20 years old. He stated that it was not a top of the line
system when installed originally. Presently it suffers from almost continuous problems
including failures to lights, ballasts and transformers as well as shorts and failures of the
underground wiring system. He stated that these problems resulted in a street light
system that currently has failures for a good part of the year.
Mr. Eckles stated that the City has recently completed a street rehabilitation project on
Curve Crest and future projects will certainly occur on some of the other side streets
and these projects have orwill result in assessments. He stated an alternative to
assessments would be creation of a street lighting district. He stated that a street
lighting district could be implemented throughout the entire industrial park and
marketplace area, which could be used to pay for future capital improvements and also
capture the maintenance and operational costs. He also stated that given the City's
difficult budget situation, the use of a street lighting district in this area and perhaps
throughout the entire city could yield over $200,000 a year just for operation of the
lighting system.
Public Works Director Eckles informed the Council of the Parks Board's .
recommendation on the maintenance of parks. He stated that due to the budget
Page 2 of 19
City Council Meeting - 03-12
June 3, 2003
.
situation, the Parks Board has prioritized the parks for maintenance. He stated that
some of the passive parks would not be maintained as often as in the past so they will
be mowed less. He wanted to make Council aware as to why some areas are not be
maintained as in the past.
City Administrator Hansen stated that Minnesota House and Senate have approved the
bonding bill, which includes $1,300,000 for the Brown's Creek Initiative and the tax bill,
which includes a $745,000 cut in LGA for 2003 and 2004. He stated that the cut in LGA
for 2003 is more severe than his worst-case scenario, but that the cut for 2004 is less
severe and allows the City to levy back for 60% of the cuts in 2004. He stated that if the
City tried to absorb the entire $745,000 in 2003 the City would have to keep in place all
of the Police Department cuts and an additional $320,649 which would put the City at a
level base for 2004 where we would be able to levy back $447,000. He also stated that
he is concerned if the City absorbs all the cuts in the remainder of 2003 they would be
more severe than the taxpayers would find acceptable.
.
He reviewed possible solutions such as cutting ~ of the remaining $320,649 and using
reserve or budget amendments for the other half which would mean we would still have
$160,324 to raise to get to a level base for 2004; create a franchise fee for gas and
electric power which is allowed by State statute and could be in effect within
approximately 120 days. He stated that a number of cities have already done this and
Dave Magnuson has done research on the subject and that a 3-5% fee would generate
an estimated $300-$500,000 plus. He stated that currently the City is spending
approximately $200,000 per year on street lighting costs paid for by the general tax
levy. He stated that a number of cities are charging a "fee" or special assessment to
property owners for street lighting outside of the tax levy. He also stated that by doing
this cities are also able to set aside funds to purchase replacement lighting.
Motion by Councilmember Kriesel, seconded by Councilmember Rheinberger authorizing the
City Administrator to spread the remaining budget cuts over 2003 and 2004 anticipating
additional levy in 2004. All in favor.
Council discussed the franchise fee issue. Council member Kriesel stated that other
communities have implemented franchise fees, which Excel Energy passes onto the
consumer. Councilmember Rheinberger stated that this is a different name for a
substantial tax increase. He feels there should be public debate on the issue.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that there would be public input at the second reading
of the ordinance. City Attorney Magnuson stated that the Council has 60 days to adopt
the ordinance and there will be time for public input.
Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Kriesel approving the first
reading of an ordinance relating to franchise fees.

information.

Ms. Margot Rheinberger, on behalf of St. Michaels Church, requested that St. Michaels
be allowed to ring its church bells to serenade the people who gather to watch the
fireworks on July 4. She stated that St. Michael's is celebrating its 150th birthday this
year and they would like to pay tribute to America's 22ih birthday by playing a variety of
patriotic songs as well as Happy Birthday. She stated that the bells would play from
9:25 p.m. to 9:55 p.m.
Motion by Council member Rheinberger, seconded by Councilmember Kriesel to approve the
request to ring the church bells by St. Michaels Church. All in favor.
Amv Senn. 602 N 5th Street - Reauest for variance to the noise ordinance
Ms. Amy Senn requested a variance to the noise ordinance to hold a party at her home
on July 26, during Lumberjack Days. She stated that she had a similar request last year
and did not know of any complaints relating to her party.
.
Motion by Council member Rheinberger, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt approving a
variance to the noise ordinance for the band, with the condition that the band quits playing at
midnight. All in favor.
Reauest for financial SUODort for Oak Park Elementarv School Plavaround Proiect
Debbie Crea, 801 Eagle Ridge Trail, stated that the current Oak Park playground does
not compare with any of the other elementary school playgrounds. Some of the
equipment dates back to the early 1960's and does not meet the current playground
standards. All of the equipment will be replaced except for some swing sets and
basketball hoops. She asked for the Council's support of this project.
Sheila Eller, Principal of Oak Park Elementary, stated that Oak Park receives $15,000
yearly for facilities. $7,000 of that amount will be applied to the playground equipment.
In addition, there is a drainage issue that will cost $10,000 to repair. The school district
will also pay for the removal of the current equipment.
Mike Coppock, 731 W. Orleans St., has a second grader who attends Oak Park
Elementary. Baytown Township has agreed to donate $4,527 to the project. He
requested that the City of Stillwater consider a contribution of $20,511.
.
Council member Rheinberger stated that he would be against providing financial support
at this time because of budget constraints; entity missions are different, liability issues,
and resources not available. He stated that the City does not have the money and that
Page 5 of 19

the timing of this request unfortunately has come at the wrong time and felt that the
school district should be funding this playground. He also stated that this request
should be delayed for better economic times. .
Council member Milbrandt suggested that in the spirit of cooperation on future venues
the City may be cooperating with the school district that an amount of $5,000 be given
in 2003, and $10,000 be incorporated in the 2004 budget.
Council member Junker commended the group on their dedication to this project. He
stated the city's core value is the children of the City. He stated that the City spent
$50,000 for play equipment in the Old Athletic Field and he sees that it is always used.
Councilmember Kriesel also commended the group. He stated that unfortunately due to
budget issues which includes the possibility of foregoing the hiring of police officers, the
closing of the library on Sundays, and asking employees to take voluntary leave without
pay he would not favor this expenditure. He also stated that the first responsibility
should be to all the residents of the community and then to other entities.
Mayor Kimble commended the group for their efforts. He stated that he wished all
requests would come before the Council that would ask only $0.50 on the dollar.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Junker to provide financial
support in the amount of $5,000 be given in 2003, and $10,000 be incorporated inthe2004

X 230' foot lot from RA Sinale Familv Residential District to RB. Two Familv Residential District
located at 1508 West Olive Street.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request by Jeff and Gina
Melstrom and Tim and Jodi Larson for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone a 50' x 230'
foot lot. He stated that the Planning Commission reviewed this request and the vote
was 4-4. He stated that surrounding properties are single family residential (RA).
City Attorney Magnuson stated that approval would require a 4/5 vote.
Mayor Kimble stated that this is a "spot zone" issue and asked if it would be wise to
move the RB District west.
Mr. Russell stated that this would be a separate issue and would require further study to
consider the impacts on the area. He stated that it would require a separate public
hearing and Council to direct the Planning Commission to look at a broader area for the
zoning amendment.
Council member Milbrandt asked how many spot zoning requests are requested in a
year.
Mr. Russell stated that in 17 years Stillwater has never approved one, and in 30 years
as a planner he has never recommended approval of a spot zoning request.
Council member Kriesel asked how long it would take to complete the study.

City Council Meeting - 03-12 June 3, 2003
Mr. Russell stated that the recent study in the area of Orleans did not take long because
it was quite obvious that the zoning should be changed. He stated that this case is not
as straight forward and would probably take 2-3 months to get a recommendation bad.
to Council.
Mayor Kimble stated that the City might have not approved spot zoning however there
are properties that received variances that might be creating the same effect as if they
were spot zoned.
Mr. Russell said that he only knows of two properties that received this type of variance
that were granted in the last 17 years.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Mr. Jeff Melstrom, 1508 W. Olive, provided a.letter of support from his neighbors, Joe
and Jennifer Lock, 1402 W. Ramsey.
Mr. Melstrom stated that most neighbors approve of this request. He stated that if this
street were a busy street he would not have this request before Council.
Gail Bush, Crown Realty, stated that there are other lots in this area that are less than
10,000 square feet and hoped that Council would be open to a variance. She stated
tha.t they have a builder for the property who wants to build a single-family home on the
property. She also stated that the home would enhance the neighborhood.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.
.
Council member Rheinberger stated that he was in favor of the zoning amendment. He
stated that there should be an exception to policy and that there is a clear-cut need. He
stated that it would bring a final anchor to Ramsey Street.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Council member Kriesel to approve the
first reading to rezone a 50' x 230' foot lot from RA, Single Family Residential District to RB,
Two Family Residential District located at 1508 West Olive Street.
Council member Rheinberger also stated that he does not see it as setting precedent, it
is a case-by-case request.
Councilmember Kriesel stated he is concerned with the spot zoning issue and would
like to know if it would be more feasible to make it contiguous to the proper zoning
rather than spot zone.
Mayor Kimble asked if it was possible to grant a variance rather than to spot zone the
property. He stated that there is not going to be a duplex on the property but rather this
deals with lot size.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that a use variance is prohibited and that this case doe.

not fit for the findings that would have to be made for a variance. He stated that if
Council wishes to accommodate the request a rezoning should be done.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated he did not want to put this Councilor future Councils in
the spot zoning dilemma and believes what Mr. Melstrom is trying to do would enhance
the neighborhood; however spot zoning is a slippery slope. He stated that he would
consider it if it was studied in the same manner as the Orleans area that was before
Council. He also stated if spot zoning is allowed that it would put the Planning
Commission is a bad position because there many lots such as this in the City.
Council member Junker concurred with Councilmember Milbrandt.

deck located at 1010 4th Street North in the RB. Two Familv Residential District.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request from Billy J. Elliot for a
variance to the front yard setbacks (corner lot) (30 feet required, 9' 7" and 19' 4"
requested) for the construction of a roof deck located at 1010 4th Street North. He
stated that the Planning Commission reviewed this request and there were concerns for
neighborhood privacy and small lot size for the amount of the building and
Page 9 of 19
City Council Meeting - 03-12 June 3, 2003
recommended denial. He also stated that anything added to this home would require a
variance.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Mr. Billy Elliott, 1010 4th Street North, provided the Council with a petition of support
from his immediate neighbors and photos with various views of the home. He stated
that he could move the shed to the back of the home. He stated that the roof deck
would not be outside the square of the home. He also stated that trees surround the
area and are in full bloom.
.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.
Council member Rheinberger stated he is in favor of the request as long as the
neighbors approved, believed that the intrusion on the public would be small and adds a
new dimension to the area.
Councilmember Kriesel stated his concern is even though Mr. Elliott has approvalfrom
existing neighbors, it is future neighbors, their privacy issues, and the adding to the
home in relation to the neighborhood.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated that future property owners would know about the
roof deck moving in. He stated that anything done to this property would require a
variance.
Mr. Elliott stated that he has been granted an easement to accommodate what is
presently there.
.
Mayor Kimble asked if the stairway is outside the building envelope and would add to
the impervious surface.
Mr. Russell stated that was correct. He stated that the Planning Commission concerns
were privacy and what could be accommodated on a lot of this size.
Councilmember Milbrandt asked Fire Chief Kallestadif he had any issues relating to
access.
Fire Chief Kallestad stated he didn't believe so, but he did not review this item as it
relates to fire codes. He stated that as a single family residence there are no laws
against having a barbeque grill on a deck.

Case No. V/03-41. This is the date and time for a Dublic hearina to consider an appeal of the
Plannina Commission's decision on a reauest from David and Jeanne Kensler for a variance to
the rear vard setback (5 feet reauired. 3' 1" reauested) for construction of a two car aaraae
with storaae above located at 1323 2nd Street South in the RB. Two Familv Residential District.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request for appeal by David and
Jeanne Kensler for a variance to the rear yard setback (5 feet required, 3' 1" requested)
for construction of a two car garage with storage above located at 1323 2nd Street
South. He stated that the Planning Commission voted 4-4 on this issue. He also stated
that a neighbor to the rear of the proposed garage felt the variance would adversely
affect air, light and the attractiveness of their property.
.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Mr. Jeanne Kensler, 1323 2nd Street N., stated that they felt compelled to appeal the
decision made on May 12, 2003 because it appears they were denied approval of the
variance due to the height of the building, which they are in compliance with. She stated
that in addition, they felt compelled to appeal because the decision to deny their request
presents a permanent hardship, given the difficulty of maneuvering vehicles in and out of
our planned garage with limited space. She stated that their new garage will be six feet
wider and eight feet taller than the current garage and that the variance was
requested in an effort to allow easier access to our new garage. She stated that the
height of our planned garage is not of issue, but rather, the issue is the distance
between our new garage and our neighbor's lot.
Ms. Kensler stated that it is their understanding that our neighbor is concerned about the
potential loss of afternoon sunlight, as our new garage will be taller than the current
one. She stated that in respect for their neighbor, it is understandable that a new
building presents a possible difficult change, however, since the height of the garage
cannot and should not be of issue, it is confusing why building at 3'1 "from the property
line is. She stated that it would seem likely that the difference of two feet would be
minimal in respect to the amount of afternoon sun loss. She stated that the view of
our garage from our neighbor's property will be on the northwest side of their lot and
since the pool is located in the center and southwest portion of their backyard, loss of
sunlight to their pool area should be minimal. She also stated that in regard to
drainage, when our neighbor's pool was put-in their backyard was built-up. She stated
that their backyard is flat and our new garage will have gutters, which all water will
remain on site. She stated that the only view from the inside of our neighbor's house to
the backyard is from one upstairs window.
Ms. Kensler stated that they understand their neighbor's concems; however, they believe
the difference of two feet has a far greater impact on our daily garage use than the impact
on their neighbor's summer use of their pool area and backyard and requested approval
of the variance.
.
Ms. Coni Leonard, 13232 S. First Street stated that they feel strongly that the reason
why municipalities have zoning laws is to protect the value and personal enjoyment of
Page 11 of 19
City Council Meeting - 03-12 June 3, 2003
all property owners and since we are the neighbors directly affected by this variance we
feel a need to restate our position. She stated that as a property owner they enjoy their
backyard. She stated that they have looked at other larger garages that been built in the
neighborhood over the last few years, and while they may look very attractive from the
front, the structures are very imposing on their neighbor's backyard.
Ms. Leonard stated that the previous owners. might have built up the backyard when the
pool was installed over twenty years ago, the fill has settled and all water in this area
eventually drains down hill towards the river. She stated that even if rain gutters are
installed on the neighbors' new garage, the proposed structure has a steep roof that will
create rapid run off in heavy rains, and there is no way they can guarantee thatwe will
not have run off on their property. She stated if the base of the garage is to sit 37" from
our fence, and it appears that the overhang on the garage is 1 0 to 12 inches, the
drainage of the gutter would be just two feet from their fence. She stated that an
existing smaller garage, sits 5 feet south of the proposed structure, and the run off from
these two garages certainly is not going to drain uphill to Second Street. She stated
that in many ways it seems trivial to have this dispute over two feet, but they deem it
places no more "hardship" on their neighbors to abide by the zoning ordinances. than it
does for them to have the variance granted. She questioned whether the proposed
structure is too large for the lot, in addition to the 6 feet wider, and 8 feet higher, it will
be four feet deeper, which again makes them question potential drainage issues.
Ms. Leonard stated that Mr. and Mrs. Kensler are basing their "hardship" argument on
the fact that their house will be situated to close to the new structure, and this coupled
with the "existing tree, fence, and wall" in their back yard, will not provide them .
adequate room to access the north-parking stall. She stated that there is 25 feet
between the new structure and the house, which should allow ample room in their
backyard to create additional access to the north-parking stall of the new garage. She
stated that the existing chain-link fence could easily be moved to accommodate a
wider driveway in front of the new garage, if desired. She stated that the wall and the
tree do not appear to interfere with the proposed structure; therefore, they do not
agree this is a bona fide hardship. She requested that the City Council not approve
the variance.
Ms. Diana Ensign, 1317 2nd Street S., stated she shares a driveway with the Kensler's
and supports their request for the variance. She stated that they have had trouble
negotiating the driveway the way it stands right now. She stated that it is a tight
situation so bringing the garage back would improve the situation. She requested that
Council support the variance.
Mr. John Kern, 5469 Stillwater Boulevard N. stated he owns the property behind 1317
2nd Street S and that his property is lower than the three adjourning properties. He
stated that he gets everyone's water. He stated that he sees a potential problem with
additional runoff. He stated that he would have to figure out how to reroute the water.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.

City Council Meeting - 03-12 June 3,2003
Council member Rheinberger stated that he favored the variance because anything less
than a two-car garage today is a hardship, there are also safety concerns.
Council member Kriesel stated he would be against the appeal and it should not provide
a hardship on the residents on 1 st Street. He stated that he does not see the hardship
of the applicants by moving the garage within the property and not having a variance.
He stated that there will be more water runoff.
Council member Junker stated that the Planning Commission felt the same way. He
stated that they felt there was not a hardship and the garage did not warrant a variance
because it could be placed 23 inches onto their property.
Council member Milbrandt concurred with Councilmembers Kriesel and Junker. He
stated he was concerned with the additional water runoff and the affect to the adjacent
property owners.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by CouncilmemberKriesel to approve the

Community Development Director Russell reviewed the final planned unit development
request from St. Croix Development formerly owned by Tim Nolde. He stated that the
Heritage Preservation and Planning Commission have recommended approval. He
also stated that there 16 conditions of approval.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mark Dawson, 8t. Croix Development reviewed the proposed final PUD and the
construction of the project.
Council member Rheinberger asked if Mr. Greg Wind's concern regarding his driveway
has been resolved.
Mr. Dawson stated that Tim Nolde has dedicated Outlot A on the plat to address Mr.
Wind's concerns. He stated that either the outlot or an easement would be deeded or
whatever is necessary to provide Mr. Wind the access he needs.
Mr. Greg Wind, 6322 Stillwater Boulevard, stated that he does not want his driveway
moved and he wants where his driveway is now deeded to him. He stated that neither
Mr. Nolde nor Mr. Dawson has talked to his attorney so nothing is different from the
Page 13 of 19
City Council Meeting - 03-12 June 3, 2003
January 8, 2003 meeting regarding this issue. He requested that this issue should be
tabled until this matter is taken care of.
Mr. Dawson stated that they have purchased the property from Mr. Nolde. He stated .
that he received a telephone call from Mr. Wind's attorney and that he advised the
attorney that an Outlot has been created to address Mr. Wind's concern and the
attorney asked if it would be deeded to Mr. Wind and I told the attorney that whatever is
necessary would be done because it does not affect what will be done with the property.
He stated that the outlot encompasses Mr.Wind's entire driveway so it satisfies Mr.
Wind's adverse possession claim.
Mayor Kimble asked if that means Mr. Wind does not have to move his driveway.
Mr. Dawson stated that was correct.
Mr. Wind stated that the plat depicts his driveway however some of the boundary points
are 18 inches into the driveway so the boundary points need to go at least 6 feet north.
He stated that he talked to his attorney today and he stated that nothing has been
resolved.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that Council could continue the condition of approval
that there has to be a conveyance of a driveway easement to Mr. Wind.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.
City Magnuson stated that in addition to the other conditions the condition of a drivewa~

can be used for any other public purpose authorized by law. He stated that Council
could, by resolution, not purchase something and use the money in the general fund.

OTHER BUSINESS
Discussion on Budaet Solutions
City Administrator Hansen stated that at the last council meeting, council allowed staff
to pursue various means of resolving our current budget crisis, including the possibility
of initiating franchise fees for electric and gas. He stated that on Monday, June 17,
2003, he and Dave Magnuson met with representatives of Xcel Energy to discuss
franchise fees. He stated that the meeting was very amicable and they provided
information regarding what a certain level of fees would generate in dollars and that
Xcel had certain requests of their own, such as extending the franchise and release of
bond requirements should the franchises be amended.
Mr. Hansen stated that the electric and gas franchises are two separate franchises. He
stated that state law allows for the electric franchise fee and a provision for up to a 5%
fee is already provided for in the current franchise agreement. He stated that the
representatives from Xcel recognize the City's ability to impose the fee, but are fearful
that a 5% amount may cause a backlash with customers for both the City and Xcel. He
stated that Xcel will be very cooperative on any franchise fee request for 3% or less, but
would be compelled to address customer concerns at the 5% level.
Mr. Hansen stated that the fees that could be generated are as follows:
1 % fee
3% fee
5% fee
$95,299 per year
$285,896 per year
$476,495 per year
2003 (5months)
$39,708
$119,123
$198,540
City Council Meeting - 03-13
June 17, 2003
He stated that there would be very little cost in initiating this fee, as the billing would be
done by Xcel and the fees simply paid to the City on a quarterly basis. He A
recommended a 3% fee because the cooperation of Xcel in initiating the program coula-"
prove instrumental to its success or failure. He stated that a total of 20 Minnesota cities
charge a franchise fee for Xcel electric with more requests expected.
Mr. Hansen stated that Xcel is much more sensitive to a franchise fee for gas because
this is based on a.perception regarding fixed income individuals and winter heating bills
etc. He stated that Xcel is also concerned with a prediction for higher gas prices this
winter and representatives have suggested that a 1 % franchise fee would be workable.
He stated that as an alternative Xcel suggests $1 fee per month residential, $5 per
month commercial charge for meters because it might be more acceptable to the public
and would offer customers protectionfrom gas price increases.
1 % fee $82,254 per year (at current price)
$1/$5 meter charge $98,824 per year
Mr. Hansen stated that the amount generated would be as follows:
2003 (5 months)
$34,272
$41 ,177
Mr. Hansen recommended the charge for meters.
He urged council consideration in initiating these franchise fee proposals. He stated
that the money is not free and that the City is in essence shifting some former property
tax dollars to a new form of taxation. He also stated that if the City continues to addre.
the budget shortfall only through service cuts, and not increased revenue, the City
would soon reach an unacceptable service level for our citizens. He stated that the City
is controlling spending by having absorbed $750,000 in reductions last year and another
$425,000 in 2003. He also stated that increasing revenue would be even more
important when it comes to the 2004 budget, as the City's promised LGA amount will
likely be reduced further.
Council member Junker asked if the residents would see this charge on their bill.
City Administrator Hansen stated that it would be a separate line item on their electric
and gas bill.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated that the elections sent a message of no new taxes
and all this is the charging of a fee rather than a new tax. He stated that there should
be a hard and public debate on this issue. He stated that it is just a matter of shifting
some former property tax dollars to a new form of taxation and he could not support that
taxation. He suggested that the funding of the library be cut because it is not self
sustainable.
Council member Milbrandt stated he would like revitalizing the prospect of a liquor tax,
sales tax, or hotel tax to pay for some of the shortfall. He stated he does not like the
idea that only the residents should bare the cost of the shortfall where 20% minimum .

.
are for services for people who visit Stillwater who pay nothing. He asked if this could
be discontinued if another revenue source becomes available.
City Administrator Hansen stated that it could be discontinued. He stated that in order
to get a sales tax it would have to go to the legislature and the Gity would not benefit
from that until 2005.
Council member Kriesel concurred with Council member Milbrandt regarding the
residents receiving the full impact of this and supports looking for other revenue sources
that would affect the tourists more than residents.
Mayor Kimble stated that there have been reductions on homes within thecol11munity
because new developments occurred in Stillwater. He stated that because of the levy
limits the City is unable to capture the tax benefit, which means the additional
developments reduce taxes. He also stated that because of legislative controls, cities
have to find other revenues to sustain staff, police officers, and office hours.
Council member Milbrandt stated he also would like to hear about the street lighting
district and address this issue as part of the budget package rather than separately.
Mayor Kimble moved the item regarding Street Lighting District from the 7:00 agenda to
be considered as part of the budget package.
.
City Administrator Hansen recommended that the fire department fees be dispensed at
this time.
Council member Kriesel would like to see the fireworks permit addressed for 2004.
Public Works Director Eckles stated that City staff has examined how a lighting system
would work and also looked at potential revenue generation and that the option of a
street lighting utility makes sense in that everybody in the City benefits from street lights
and traffic signals. Even residents that have little or no city street lighting use the city
street system and benefit from the safety provided by streetlights and traffic signals. He
stated that since the City of Stillwater already has several utility funds and everybody
receives a quarterly city utility bill, addition of a street lighting utility would be
straightforward.
Mr. Eckles stated that in setting the rates for a street lighting utility, Council would need
to take into account the street light systems and the type of users. He stated that
similar to the storm water utility, rates could be based on a per unit basis for residential
and a per acre basis for commercial, institutional, golf course and open space with each
of these categories having a different rate. He stated that commercial could be broken
down into normal commercial and special district commercial. He stated that the special
district commercial would consist of properties in the downtown district that benefit from
the extensive lighting there as well as the marketplace area that has it's own street light
system.
.
Page 3 of 12
City Council Meeting - 03-13
June 17, 2003
He stated that the current budget for street lighting and traffic signals is $215,000, which
includes $170,000 for electricity. He also stated that there is some general engineerin.
and public works staff dedicated to managing the City's current system. He stated that
if the City set up a street lighting utility, it would also be beneficial to accumulate some
capital for street lighting project upgrades. He stated that the proposed commercial
special district has lighting that will need to be reconstructed as it wears out and that
rather than assessing these costs, they could be charged to the street lighting utility
which would justify the higher quarterly charges to the commercial special district.
He stated that if the City wishes to capture enough revenue to cover all of the signs and
lighting budget as well as cover staff time associated with lighting and the capital
improvements, annual revenue of about $300,000 appears to be an appropriate target.
He stated that staff has done some very rough calculations to determine approximately
how much would be charged for the various user groups to achieve a $300,000
revenue. He explained a rate schedule for the following information to achieve this level
of funding.
He stated that using this formula each residential unit would pay about $32 a year which
would raise about $200,000 and the commercial properties would pay based on the size
of their property, the minimum being an % acre unit which would yield $140-400 per
year for the smallest commercial property. He stated that all categories excluding
residential would generate roughly $100,000 a year. He stated that the high rates for
institutional and commercial are justified because these areas serve as major
destinations for large numbers of pedestrians and vehicular traffic. He also stated that.
lighting systems tend to be centered around commercial areas or at corners where
commercial properties are located. He stated that golf course property has a fairly low
rate but the two golf courses own significant property but that these rates also appear
justified in that golf courses generate significant traffic.
Council member Milbrandt and Kriesel felt that some of the rates would need to be
adjusted. He also asked if the franchise fee and street lighting charge could be
terminated.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that if Council felt the City had too much money, they
could lower taxes or the Council could terminate any charges.
Councilmember Rheinberger said again that whether it is a franchise fee or a street
lighting charge it is still another tax to the residents. He stated because this is just
shifting some former property tax dollars to a new form of taxation; he could not support
this taxation. He stated there needs to be efficiencies and the City will have to live
within what the State gives us. He stated that core services need to be defined. He
stated he could see the district being used in the commercial areas but street lighting in
residential is an expected core service which property tax should pay for.
Public Works Director Eckles stated that staff would be able to put other options
together for the next meeting. He also stated that this money would be designated just.

June 17, 2003
for street light repair and the payment of costs associated with the system. He stated
that there would be some setup costs for including the street light charge on the utility
bill.
Councilmember Kriesel stated that the City is at the point where either core services are
cut or we need to raise revenue to keep those services.
Councilmember Junker stated that the affect would be $65.00 annually per household.
Council member Rheinberger stated he wanted more options, because any way you
look it is a tax. He stated that we do not have to follow other cities.
Council member Milbrandt stated that Council has an obligation to respond to the
citizen's expectation. He stated that the Council has been dealt an issue that forces the
Council to be more creative and if this helps keep core services and police officers on
the street he was willing to make the decision.
Council member Rheinberger stated that this is a shift of money.
Council member Junker stated that this is reasonable and workable; it is a reasonable
increase to sustain the budget.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Junker to adopt
Resolution 2003-138, approving franchise fees for electric and gas, with the amount of 3% for
electric and a $1 meter charge for gas.

RE:
Lumberjack Days '03
Miscellaneous items-
1) Based on the Andersen Centennial we are planning on decorating Downtown.
I would like permission to place a banner on Main Street at the Kolliner
building location that would be specifically saluting the July 25 portion of LJD
'03 and the Andersen birthday.
I would like permission to potentially place Andersen Centennial Flags in the
light pole holders in the Downtown area. (We haven't decided to do this for sure
yet).
2)
I have been working with Tim Moore on the installation of a permanent power
system in north Lowell Park. Lumberjack Days will cover all costs of the
installation of the system ($28,000) and then donate the system to the City of
Stillwater. I know that we may need to move the system when the final plan for
that part of the park is executed and agree to cover any costs incurred with that
move. With your blessing Greeder Electric will begin the install immediately and
the system will be finished prior to LJD '03. The new system will be very similar
to the electrical that is in place adjacent to the Freight House.
3)
It would be wonderful if somehow the last 300 or so feet of the parking lot
adjacent to the tracks could be paved before Lumberjack Days. This would be a
tremendous improvement and would dramatically enhance our visitors Downtown
Stillwater experience.

Director of Administration
FROM:
RE:
City Administrator Election for Inclusion in PERA
As part of the 2003 Omnibus Pension bill passed by the Minnesota Legislature (and subsequently
signed into law by Governor Pawlenty), effective August 1,2003, City Administrators who
previously opted out of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) can now reverse
this decision and enroll in PERA's Coordinated Plan.
This election is irrevocable. A City Administrator who elects to enroll in the Coordinated Plan
must remain in the Plan until termination of employment as the City Administrator. This option
does not allow a City Administrator to purchase any service credits during the time they had
opted out of the Plan.
The election for the City Administrator to participate in PERA will have no change in cost for
the City. It will also not change the amount of benefits that the City Administrator receives. The
benefits are the same as all other employees.
Recommendation
If the Council agrees with the PERA election change, Council should adopt the attached
Resolution.
MEMORANDUM
.
TO: Mayor & Council
FROM: City Administrator Hansen
SUBJECT: Public Employees Retirement Account (PERA) Election
DATE: June 25, 2003
The 2003 legislative session included a change to the law that will allow City
Managers/Administrators who had previously opted out ofPERA to opt back in.
Although I will not be able to buy back coverage for years that I was not in PERA, there
does appear to be some advantage.
This change will have absolutely no cost benefit or detriment to the City as the amount of
City expense dedicated to my retirement is set by statute and will not change. It will .
simply be placed in PERA as opposed to my 457 Plan account.
If council agrees, a resolution is required.

membership in the Public Employees Retirement Association, effective upon his
filing such election with the Executive Director of that association.
As required by law, Larry D. Hansen will not at any time in the future seek any

LUMBERJACK DAYS AGREEMENT
This Agreement between the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("City"),
in conjunction with the Lumberjack Days Celebration of 2003, part of a community wide
celebration of the City (the "Celebration"); the Lumberjack Days Festival Association, Inc., a
Minnesota non-profit corporation ("Association"), that has been granted authority to dispense
intoxicating liquor pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~340A.404, subd. 10 ("Liquor").
1. Celebration. The City has encouraged a community wide celebration in order to
foster and promote tourism within the City of Stillwater and encourage commerce within the
City that will ultimately increase property values and the quality of life within the City, thereby
promoting the welfare of the City. The date of the Celebration will be July 24, 2003 through
July 27, 2003.
2. The Association. LumbeIjack Days Festival Association, Inc. has been granted
authority to dispense intoxicating Liquor at the Celebration and has contracted with the
Association for the administration of the Beer Garden where the Liquor will be dispensed. It is
the purpose of this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions that will control the
dispensing of Liquor at the Celebration.
3. The Area. The premise where dispensing will be permitted is the area bordered
by the Minnesota Commercial Railroad Track on the west; approximately 100 feet south of P .D.
Pappy's on the north (the exact location of the Boundary will be determined by the Police Chief);
the St. Croix River on the east; and the north edge of Chestnut Street on the south (the "Area").
4. Fencing. The Area must be securely fenced by the Association. The fencing
must be adequate to insure that alcohol sales and consumption remain inside the fence. A breach
ofthe fence is grounds for the Police Chief to terminate all alcohol sales in the area.
5. Crowd Management.
(a) The Association will reimburse the City for the cost of providing uniformed,
licensed peace officers for the celebration at a level required by the Chief of
Police. The reimbursement level will be limited, however, to a maximum of
$27,000.
(b) The Association will provide, at no cost to the City, privately paid professional
uniformed security officers equipped with radios. All security officers will be
suitably identifiable. The number and deployment of the Security force must be
approved in writing by the Stillwater Police Chiefby June 1,2003.
(c) For the purpose of this plan, all Entry/Exit gates to the park must be controlled by
security personnel while alcohol is being served. At each of these entry/exit
points, a paid professional security guard must be in place to insure that no beer or
Liquor enter or leave the park area.
(d)
Signage will be prominently displayed at each entry/exit point to notify guests
that no Liquorlbeer will be allowed in or out of the area.
.
( e) Private paid security officers will roam the Area checking to make sure that each
beer drinker is wearing a Lumberjack Days 2003 beer drinking bracelet. Signs
will be displayed throughout the area notifying guests thatthey must be wearing a
beer drinking bracelet to be drinking a beer.
6. Liquor Control:
(a) Identification Bracelets. The Association will provide at no charge liquor
identification bracelets at a minimum of four (4) different locations in the area.
The Association will permit no one to consume Liquor unless they are wearing an
identification bracelet. The Association will be responsible for the issuance of
bracelets and that the bracelets are given only to those who are legally entitled to
consume Liquor.
(b) No Other Alcohol or Coolers. No Liquor is allowed in the Area except that
Liquor which is sold by the Association. The Association is responsible to see
that no other Liquor is brought into the Area. The Association must not allow
bottles, containers or coolers to be brought into the Area.
(c)
Compliance Program. Prior to the opening date of Lumberjack Days 2003, the
Association must develop a complete management policy or program regarding
all aspects of alcohol compliance, including the problem of the under~aged
consumer, sales after hours, sales off the premises in open containers, over-
serving and the recognition of false identification. The City Police Chief must
approve the policy before implementation. The Association must train all alcohol
servers with regard to the policy, including instruction by a professional
recognized in the area of alcohol awareness before the opening date of the
Celebration.
.
(d) Compliance Inspection. The Association acknowledges that as a liquor license
holder for the Celebration, it is subject to Stillwater City Code 943-8, which
authorizes that all premises from which intoxicating Liquor is offered at on-sale,

Re:

Appeal 0 eClSlon to eny Variance equest '-"""'..x--' ( t:.
Dear Community Development Director:
Please let this letter serve as notice of my appeal to the Planning Commission's decision to deny
my request for a variance to the front yard setback requirement for a fence. I have attached a copy of my
correspondence and the site plan submitted with the variance request.
My request was for the Planning Commission to grant a variance allowing: (1) the portion of the
fence represented by Line E to extend at least ten, preferably sixteen, feet south from the southwest comer
of the garage and be constructed at a height of 60"; (2) the portion of the fence represented by Line F be
constructed at a height of 60"; and (3) the portion ofthe fencerepresented by Line A that extends past the
front of the home be constructed at a height of 60".
.
City Code Section 31-1, Subd. 30(2)(d) provides, in summary, that a variance may be granted if:
(1) a hardship peculiar to the property not created by any act of the owner exists, (2) it is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights and does not constitute a special privilege, and
(3) it will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and will not materially impair the purpose
of the public interest nor adversely affect the comprehensive plan. In my opinion, my circumstances
satisfied each of these conditions. First, the reason I cannot build on or behind of the building line is
because of 100' tall trees -a condition I did not create. Second, privacy and the prevention of trespass
are substantial property rights that will be impaired with upon the completion of the street improvement
project - the sidewalk will be constructed on our side of the street. Third, rather than being a detriment,
this fence will improve the look of the property and surrounding properties and will not in any way
materially impair the public interest.
. . ...
While I believe the Planning Commission's decision was in error, I do not feel an "all or nothing"
. decision is appropriate and offer a solution that I believe the City CounCil will find acceptable. Since the
primary concern is how far Line E extends past the building line, I ask that the City Council allow me, at
the least, to construct a fence 60" in height that extends only five feet in front of the building line. This
will allow me to avoid the grove of trees that lie directly in line with the building line while still
protecting the public interest and my property rights.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
~:;:.?

City of Stillwater
Attention: Sue
215 North 41b Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Re: Variance Request
Dear Sue:
.
Attached please find a Planning Administration Application Form for a variance to the
front yard setback requirement for B fence. Based on our conversations, it is my understanding
that a fence may not exceed 42" in height if it extends into the front yard from the front of the
hOme. The attached site plan details that the southwest comer of OUT garage is four feet back
from the front of the home. Therefore, we could construct a fence that 'is greater than 42" in
height so long as it only extended four feet from the southwest comer of the garage into the front
yard thereby being flush with the front of the home. Unfortunately, there are trees directly in the
path of Line F (see attached site plan for all references to Lines) if Line E is four feet.
We therefore request, for the reasons described below, that the City of Stillwater grant us
a variance allowing: (1) the portion of the fence represented by Line E to extend at least ten.
preferably sixteen, feet south from the southwest comer of the garage and be constructed at a
height of 60"; (2) the portion of the fence represented by Line F be constructed at a height of
60"; and (3) the portion of the fence represented by Line A that extends past the front of the
home be constructed at a height of 60".
The primary reasons supporting the City of Stillwater's decision to grant this variance
are:
. The City will be initiating and completing street repairs on Willard Street this summer
and sidewalb will be added to our aide of the street. We have a large dog that can easily
clear a 42" high fence and I am concerned that the added foot traffic caused by the..
sidewalk will entice him to do so. . . . .
. The west side of our lot has several ttees and a cement slab. If I could make it work
under the CWTent p.;...~t restrictions I would. However. I would need to remove trees,
and quite possibly a portion of their roots, if I were to construct the fence so that Line B
was four feet or less. Alternatively, we have a cement slab that extends the width of the
garage which prohibits us from building a fence of any height behind the southwest

comer of the garage. Because of .th~ tree placement. the ponion of the fence represented .
by Line E must extend at least ten feet.

the variance, if granted. will allow us to construct a fence that is IS" higher, the fence
will be a western. red cedar picket fence that will be at least nine feet further from the
, , street.

do not hesitate to call. .

Mr. Wald, seconded by Mr. Junker, moved to approve the minute of May 12, 2003; motion
passed unanimously.
Case N~. V/03-49,. A variance to the sign regulations (one allowed, two requested) at 1200 W.
Frontage Road in the BP-C, Business Park Commercial District, Koppy Motors, applicant.
William Minder represented the applicant. He stated the request for two signs was to "even the
playing field" with competition. He showed photos and noted other nearby businesses have two
. SIgnS.
Mr. Russell pointed out that a free standing sign of up to 100 square feet is allowed in the BP-C
district. The applicant stated he was told the allowable signage was much smaller, and he has
already spent considerable money in having a sign constructed. If he had been told a 100 square
foot sign was allowable, he would have invested in a larger sign.
.
Mr. Middleton noted the Commission had a similar request last month which was denied due to
the concern regarding proliferation of signage.
. Mr. Middleton, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved to deny the request; motion passed unanimously.
The applicant asked whether he could have an additional sign on the side of the building, as the
building is located on a Comer lot. Mr. Russell said he believed that was allowable. The applicant
was told to work with staff.
Case No. V/03-50., A variance to the front yard fence height regulations (42" allowed, 60"
proposed) at 828 W. Willard St. in the RB, Two Family Residential District. Joe Thompson,
applicant.
Mr. Thompson said the existing fence is in di,:)J.\:.....air. He owns a dog that can clear 40" and
would like to have the fence the same height around the perimeter of the yard. He stated the
fence wold be brought in 8 feet, so as not to have to remove four large pine trees.

Case No. V/03-51. A variance to the side yard setback (10 feet required, 5 feet requested) for
construction of an addition above an existing garage at 504 W. St. Croix Ave. in the RB, Two
Family Residential District. David P. Ponath, applicant.
David and Ann Ponath were present. They suggested that the addition will be an improvement to
the home. The footprint of the existing structure will not be expanded.
Neighbors, Jerome Petroski, 418 W. St. Croix, and Thomas Loome, North William Street, both
spoke in favor of the plans.
Mr. Mh:ldleton, seconded by Mr. Turnquist, moved to approve the variance as conditioned;
motion. passed unanimously.
.
Case No. V/03-53. A variance to the street side yard setback (30 feet required, 11 '10" requested)
for construction of a two-car attached garage at 1101 S. Fourth 8t. in the RB, Two Family
Residential District. Michael and Jennifer Peltier, applicants.
Mr. and Mrs. Peltier were present and noted their house is already non-complaint with setbacks.
Mrs. Peltier said they are just trying to work with the lot in order to have a two-car garage.
A concern was expressed that a car parked in front of the proposed garage would extend onto the
sidewalk.
Mr. Teske noted that in the previous case, the requested variance did not expand the footprint of
the existing structure. He suggested that in the long run, the proposal would be detrimental. Mr.
Ranum agreed that he was not comfortable with the extent of proposed improvements on the lot.
Mr. Junker asked the applicants whether a smaller garage might work. Mr. Middleton said he
would have no problem if the garage was smaller. Mr. Hultman noted that if the garage was
reduced to 22' deep, a car parked in front would not extend over the sidewalk.
Mr. Ranum, seconded by Mr. Teske, moved to deny the request; motion passed unanimously.
Case No. SUP/03-54. A special use permit for outdoor sales for 10 days at 1801 Market Drive
(Cub Foods parking lot) in the BP-C, Business Park Commercial District. Eric Robbins,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cindy Shilts, Building Official
DATE: June 27,2003
SUBJECT: 501 S. 2nd Street Demolition
The demolition for the Castle house will apparently be moving forward since the attached
letter from David Wagner, Structural Engineer, supports demolition. The demolition is
scheduled for July 7, 2003 with Fuhr Trenching to perform the work.
Mr. Castle is approaching Council to ask permission to savethe southeast room as a
study room and work shed as stated in. his original letter of request to Council dated May
15,2003.
Mr. Castle needs to be aware that all of his personal effects must be removed prior to July
7, 2003 to prevent them from being destroyed with the demolition process.
If Council approves keeping the southeast room, no water and sewer should be connected
to the structure as is would not be considered a habitable structure.

Re: Fire Dam~ Structural A-"(!~ment
501 S. ~ Street
Dear Tom:
As you requested, I have assessed the damage caused be a fire at the above referenced project.
During my assessment I observed irreparable damage to 70% of the roof framing, 60% of the
secol'd floor joisUJ, 80% of the fil'$t floor joists, and 50% of the walls. This framing would need to
be replaced with new framing. Another issue regardIng the existing is reviewing the undamased
members using the new state building cocIe. Based on the slze and span of the foof framing,
second floor framing, and first floor framing, these members may require reinforcing. Thus,
affecting 100% of the stnJcture.
Due to the complexity and expense of remodeling of this magnitUde, it is my opinion that the
eXi$ting structure be demolished. It is unfortunate to give this opinion on a structure that has
remiltned il'l one family for more than 80 yeGl'S. It was evident that ill great deal of cnift8manship
was originally put into this house and care taken to maintain it. However, only a small fragment
of that original struct\Jre is salvagwble.
PI.ate call me if you have any questions concerning the above.

Dear Mayor and City Council:
I have recently placed an ad in the local Gazette seeking a contractor to restore my
burned home at 501 S. 2nd Street, Stillwater.
This is my first such seeking in a public way. I've had two people almost accept this
contract idea. The above ad will first appear Thursday, May 15, 2003 and Friday, May
16,2003.
I seek an extension of the May 29th demolition date to give this ad time to work.
If no extension is forthcoming or no contract, I will ask to save the southeast room of the
house as a study room and work shed. This room has been proclaimed a solid structure.
I have attached a letter from Mac McCalla, structural engineer stating the house is
repairable.
Thank you for any considerations regarding my home.

2. Additional Project Information (limit one page)
· In the space below, provide additional pr~ject information or history ofthe site (not included in
the project summary on page 1), including any plans to phase the project.
(Limit 20 lines)
The railroad corridor is currently being purchased from Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad by the City of
Stillwater for $1 million. The plan is to use LCDA fund to construct the pedestrian improvements in the trail
corridor. The location of the parking structure and pedestrian plaza is currently a parking lot. To offsetthe
parking lose for the pedestrian plaza and connection to Lowell Park; an attractive minimum visual appearance,
two-level (one below grade) parking structure will be constructed. The front wall of the structure will act as the
lOO-year floodwall replacing the planned lOO-year floodwall separating the parking lot from the park. The
basement level of the parking structure will act as a sump for rains during flood condition. A plan development
process is currently underway to provide detailed elevation drawing and engineered studies for the relative
complex flood control trail corridor, public plaza project in the middle of Downtown Stillwater.
. In the space below, state how LCDA funding will overcome obstacles or provide a catalyst.
Describe any time constraints, financial hardship or complexity that requires LCDA funding.
Address what could not be accomplished but for receipt of an LCDA grant.
(Limit 20 lines)
. The crucial public elements (i.e. the public interpretive trails, transit hub, sidewalk improvements, central plaza
and parking structure) would not be constructed without the Grant. Other sources of funds to assist with project
costs included tax base revitalization and TIF Funds. The proposed project would is a catalyst to. development of
the housing sites but also augment and link the housing to downtown, job, transit service and recreation
opportunities. The success of the private and public cVlUponents will help spur further infill development on the
north end of town, providing the diversity of land uses needed to sustain and enhance Stillwater as an
independent, walkable historic small town.

rhrC}li:Jh orc}fi~:'<~;].{)nJI
I~fII!A: News
Seventy-Five Percent of Local Governments are
Adding or Increasing User Fees for Services
Preliminary results of leMA's survey on reinventing government show that
some cities have irnplemented changes in response to budget shortfalls.
. Shared services, in which two local governments combine departments,
such as publiC works, so that one department delivers services to both
communities (21 %)
. Reduced services delivery, such as reduced library hours (24%)
. Eliminated delivery of at least one nonrequired service, such as
canceling a summer in the parks program (24%)
. Increased taxes (38%)
. Added or increased user fees/charges for service (75%)
. Rescinded previously approved capital expenditures (38%)
. Froze vacant positions (54%)
. Used reserve funds (one-time solution (46%).
In addition, some local government report using nontraditional sources of
revenue, such as a utility tax on wireless communications, rental of city
property for cell tower sites, pay-per-bag trash pickup, charging a fee for bulky
waste pickup, and other initiatives.
The survey was sent to the city manager or chief administrative officer in all
cities with a population 10,000 or greater. Those that did not respond to the
first mailing will soon receive a second mailing. Please be sure that your city
responds so that ICMA will have useful material to make available in these
fiscally challenging times.

Mayor and Council, City of Stillwater
Subject: Change of Street Name
In my earlier "Letters to the Editor" in all.th.ree local newspapers in pursuit
of an asphalt path in McKusick Ravine, I stated that the mere mention of adding
a "Babbling Brook" to the rear of back yards was raising property values on
Laurel Street. An example was given of an assessed value versus a newspaper's
realestate price on Laurel Street.
"Why Not" offer the residents of Laurel Street a change of street name to
"Babbling Brook WAY" 1?? It already has a "Bike WAY" signage, and this would
complement it, and better identify it as part city's planned parkWAY system.
Laurel Street originates at Pioneer Park on the east, and connects directly on
the west with McKuusick Road and its pathways.
This is NOT similar to the BroadWAY/6th Avenue name change NON-EVENT. THIS
suggestion is not only meaningful, but should be welcomed as those property
values rise. It also could bring upgrades sooner.
Please consider all of the above before making your decision. Thank you.
Sincerely,
4~%~

I have a daughter in Woodbury who has lived for 15 years on a "WAY"
traffic artery.

Legislative Report:
LeveeIFlood Control Project
Stillwater National Guard Armory
Other issues
LeveeIFlood Control Proiect: Finally, on June 11, Appropriations Chairman, Bill
Young issued the allocations to each of the 13 Appropriations Subcommittees so they can
move ahead on their respective Appropriations bills for FY 2004. He indicated that he
hoped each of the subcommittees would complete their work to enable the bills to be
passed before the August recess. The allocations limit the subcommittees to a 4% growth
for FY 2004 over FY 2003.
From:
Subject:
We have requested language in the Energy and Water Development
Appropriations. bill that will direct the Secretary to utilize the $2 million appropriated in the
FY 2001 Appropriations for the Stillwater Flood Control, and to move forward with the
construction of the Stage 3 flood wall. No markup of the House bill has been scheduled at
this time.
We have also requested $6.5 million in the Military Construction Subcommittee for
the Stillwater National Guard Armory Project. LAI was able to get the Minnesota Military
Affairs Department to make contact with all of the MN delegation and the Committee urging
the funding of the project, indicating it was number one on their "needs lisf for new armories
in the State. .
The Mayor has submitted testimony on these issues, and I have been in frequent
contact with our Congressmen, and the Subcommittee staff. During the next weeks, i will
be meeting individually with each of the Appropriations Committee Members or their staff.
Stillwater Armorv Fundina:
- -
The Military Construction Appropriations bill should be out in the very near future. It was
one of the earlier bills. In talking with the Committee, they say that their allocation is down
this year from FY 2003, and there will be some disappointments. There will still be
opportunities to get our request in the FY 2004 budget, even we we miss on the House
Bill. I have included a sheet showing the allocations for each of the 13 Subcommittees.
The two we are interested in are Energy and Water and Military Construction.
. I'll keep you informed as the process moves forward.
